Drag queen Shea Couleé made a high-shine statement on the red carpet for the 2023 Streamy Awards.
Couleé — who won season 5 of “RuPaul’s Drag Race: All Stars” — hit the carpet at the Fairmont Century Plaza in Los Angeles on Sunday night, wearing a shiny pair of metallic gold sandals. The artist’s style featured an open-toed silhouette, complete with curved toe straps.
Thin ankle and slingback straps completed Couleé’s shoes with added security, with its thin stiletto heels bringing her attire a slick height boost. The pair also matched the shimmer of her outfit, as well: a blue, red and green floral jacquard blazer by Christopher John Rogers, layered atop a silky pleated blue minidress by Robert Wun. Couleé opted to finish her outfit — and further accent the popular emerging luxury designers’ pieces — with a wide buckled Valentino belt, two thin pendant necklaces and gleaming green statement earrings.
Couleé’s sandals are a versatile shoe trend, favored for their ability to dress up both formal and casual outfits. Open-toed styles in metallic fabrics and finishes have been popular for decades due to their statement-making shine, often in gold or silver hues. Similar pairs are released year-round, as well, with new styles seen in spring collections from brands including Schutz, Sam Edelman and Larroudé.
